San Diego Comic-Con: the annual gathering of comic book nerds, blockbuster action movie fans and the slightly terrifying people who still watch Supernatural religiously. It's the biggest pop culture event of the year, a time when studios bring the biggest and most shriek-inducing stars together to unveil new projects and showcase the exciting things fans will eventually be camped out all night for. And even though not all of us are lucky enough to experience Comic-Con in person, that doesn't mean we don't deserve to get all the up-to-the-minute news, reports and surprises. Since we here at Hollywood.com don't want you to miss out on all the excitement happening in Hall H or the surprises being unveiled over the weekend, we're running down the biggest news to come out of San Diego during the convention to ensure you can stay on top of everything, whether you're stuck in the office or waiting in line for another sold out panel.
Dr. Strange? More Like Dr. Nope Sure, there are other panels happening at Comic-Con this year, but all anyone really cares about are the new films and casts that Marvel is set to unveil on Saturday. And since Dr. Strange just happens to be one of those films and Benedict Cumberbatch is rumored to be the frontrunner for the role, MTV just happened to ask him to reveal whether he will indeed be playing the super-powered sorcerer. His answer? “As far as I’m aware, even if that was the case, it couldn’t work out because I’m doing a little play called ‘Hamlet’ in London, so I don’t think I could even if that was in the cards. It sounds like a fantastic project. It’s a shame if I miss out, but who knows?” So, it’s not an outright “no,” but it seems like Marvel might have to look elsewhere for their Dr. Strange.
There’s No Stan Lee Cameo This Time A living legend in the comic book world, Stan Lee has basically become the face of Comic-Con, attending all but a select few since its inception over forty years ago. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to add 2014 to the absentee list; according to The Hollywood Reporter, Lee has cancelled his appearance after losing his voice to a bad bout of laryngitis, and he certainly can’t command a convention center without a voice. Don’t get too upset, though: his cameo in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy has already been filmed, so no illness will keep you from seeing him then.
A 24 Movie May Be In the Works The key word there is “maybe.” According to Deadline, star Kiefer Sutherland and executive producer/director John Cassar mentioned during the 24 panel that officially kicked off this year’s con that they were “still talking” about a movie now that the series’ reboot has been so successful. Of course, that didn’t stop fans from freaking out about the mere possibility of it, but Comic-Con’s a place for overwhelming enthusiasm. They could announce another Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern film and people would be excited.
Twenty Hours to Cumberbatch Waiting in absurdly long lines are a time-honored tradition of Comic-Con, but some of them are redefining the word “dedication,” like the ones who lined up to see Cumberbatch on the Dreamworks Animation panel a whole 20 hours early (via CinemaBlend). That’s right: they waited almost an entire day to watch Cumberbatch talk about voicing a cartoon wolf in the new Penguins of Madagascar movie. Not Sherlock, not The Hobbit, not Star Trek. Penguins.
Na na na na na na na… Batsuit! If you thought the set picture of Ben Affleck in the latest incarnation of the Batsuit was too dark to actually see anything – seriously, has Zach Snyder ever met a shadow he didn’t feel the need to add in? – then DC has answered your prayers. The studio unveiled Affleck’s redesigned cape and cowl for Comic-Con visitors to compare against the ones in the comics live and in-person, and /Film has plenty of pictures for those of us who prefer to critique costume choices from our own homes.
Avengers Assemble (Literally) In anticipation of their no doubt world-shattering panel this weekend, Marvel has released several exclusive posters for the Avengers: Age of Ultron featuring concept art from the film. But like Beyonce’s visual album, all of the individually exciting parts come together to make an even more exciting whole. In this case, it’s a bigger group image that sees the team fighting side-by-side. The Dissolve has already started putting it together for you, so as long as you find that last corner piece, you should be all set.

Star Trek star George Takei can sympathise with the Honduras youngsters experiencing life in America from border patrol prisons, because he and his family were marched into an internment camp during World War Two. More than 57,000 people have attempted to gain access to America this year and many of them are children under the age of 12 attempting to escape the gang violence back home.
The majority have been caught at the border by customs officials, and Takei can appreciate what they are going through.
He says, "They come from a terrifying place already. I mean Honduras has the highest homicide rate in the world - kids being killed by gangsters. They are not immigrants, they are asylum seekers for their lives. They can't be treated like immigrants."
And hearing many of them are entering the U.S. behind bars reminds him of his own time in prison camps when he was five.
He recalls, "We were ordered out of our two-bedroom home here in Los Angeles... We were in the living room looking out the front window and I saw two American soldiers with bayoneted rifles come marching up our driveway; they stomped up the front porch and banged on the front door.
"My father answered it and literally at gunpoint they ordered us out."
Japanese Americans were interned in 'War Relocation Camps' throughout the United States in 1942, shortly after Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor.
He adds, "(It's a) dark chapter of American history... (We) were summarily rounded up with no charges, no trial, no due process... and put in barbed wire prison camps, just because we happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.
"We were behind those barbed wire fences for the duration of the war. There were 10 camps altogether, all in the most desolate places, hellish places. There were two on the blistering desert of Arizona... and we were sent to the swamps of Arkansas."

"I've been told by (moviemaker) Jim (Cameron) that it'll be about an overall spiritual journey, but I don't have a script... (and) I know even less about Trek 3. All I know is that the producers of Trek 3 called the producers of Avatar 2 to find out when Avatar will finish shooting." Zoe Saldana knows very little about the future of the Avatar and Star Trek stories.

Zz Top have delayed the first week of their upcoming summer tour to allow bassist Dusty Hill to undergo surgery. The rocker needs to have two kidney stones removed, and his doctor has advised him to undergo the procedure as soon as possible.
The surgery is scheduled to take place later this week (ends25Jul14) and he is expected to make a full recovery after 14 days of rest.
As a result, the trio's dates in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania have been axed and ZZ Top will kick off the summer trek in Sturgis, South Dakota on 6 August (14), before hitting the road with Jeff Beck.

Actor George Takei attempted to persuade Star Trek creator Gene Roddenbery to write an episode that would serve as a "metaphor" for the gay struggle in America, but the TV mogul feared such a plot would turn viewers off. The longtime gay advocate admired Roddenberry's subtle digs at race relations, women's rights issues and international politics in his storylines, and asked him if he could craft a plot about homosexuality.
Takei recalls, "He said, 'We do use metaphors to deal with contemporary issues', but he was treading a very tight rope, because of the fact he was dealing with issues... and he said that if he pushed the envelope too far, then he wouldn't be able to deal with any issue at all."
Takei admits he understood and backed down because he saw how Captain Kirk's interracial kiss with Lieutenant Uhura affected ratings in America's southern states.
He explains, "We were blacked out in the South and our ratings plummeted."

Star Trek icon George Takei has fuelled with his feud with former co-star William Shatner by revealing he was the only member of the sci-fi TV show's cast who didn't realise he was gay. Takei, who played Hikaru Sulu on the show, has been at odds with Shatner for years and in a new TV appearance on comedian Bill Maher's political show Real Time, he took aim at the actor for being too self-centred to realise Takei was a homosexual.
He says, "My colleagues did know but they were cool about it because they knew that if I made a public statement about it or made it very obvious, then my career would be destroyed. But it just went right over his (Shatner) head. He was the only one that didn't know.
"At the end of the week we (would) have our wrap parties and they (cast and crew) bring their wives and husbands and boyfriends or girlfriends, and I quite regularly brought 'a buddy'."
Takei further slams Shatner, admitting it was often difficult working with him.
He adds, "Canadians have a certain image of being even-tempered and friendly and all that. Well, he is a person who is that way with himself. He is very self-centred.
"We work together and we're professionals, so we get the work done, but it's with a lot of difficulty."

NBCUniversal
Zachary Quinto is keen to return to the small screen in the upcoming Heroes reboot, but fears his busy movie schedule will ruin his chances.
The Star Trek actor shot to fame in the sci-fi TV show along with Hayden Panettiere before the programme was axed in 2010 after four seasons.
TV bosses recently announced the show will be making a comeback next year (15) as Heroes Reborn, and Quinto admits he has been talking to creator Tim Kring about the possibility of reprising his role as villainous Sylar.
He tells Thewrap.com, "I've been talking to Tim and I'm really excited that they're doing that show. I don't really see the room for me to be involved at this point, just based on my schedule. But, I'm not sure if it will work out just based on availability alone... I know the fans are really looking forward to that and I'm excited about the fact that they're making it... I know I'll be excited to watch it and be a part of it any way I can."

Star Trek star Zachary Quinto is to play James Franco's lover in a new biopic.
Franco will portray gay rights activist-turned-pastor Michael Glatze in the Justin Kelly film, adapted from a New York Times Magazine article by Benoit Denizet-Lewis.
Glatze went on to denounce homosexuality as a minister in Wyoming. Emma Roberts is also attached to the project.

New Edition star Bobby Brown has bowed out of the R&B band's ongoing U.S. tour due to medical reasons. The veteran Cool It Now hitmakers kicked off their latest trek in Connecticut on 26 June (14) and have been performing for fans in cities like Boston, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Brooklyn, New York in the past two weeks.
However, audience members have noticed Brown failing to keep up with his bandmates during a number of synchronised dance routines, with the singer appearing to struggle to catch his breath as his fellow New Edition members continue with the show.
He was even filmed briefly walking off stage during their gig in Southaven, Mississippi last week (02Jul14), and now the singer's representative has revealed the reason for his lack of stamina.
The spokesperson tells TMZ.com Brown recently underwent "an intrusive medical procedure", which has left him exhausted and fatigued, prompting him to quit the tour.
Brown, 45, has since been placed under doctors' care as he continues to recover from the mystery ailment and he has reached out to fans to say sorry.
The note reads: "I apologize to the fans of New Edition. I really wanted to be with my brothers, but presently I am unable to give the fans what they typically expect from New Edition."
The tour is due to continue in Oklahoma on Friday night (11Jul14) and wraps up in Los Angeles on 3 August (14).
